THIS is torturer Lucy Viner-Mood as she sits smirking outside court.

Earlier the same morning the 23-year-old and her pal Lois Gibson, 19, had admitted savagely beating and imprisoning a third friend, Georgia Fenn, in a shocking attack.

But only minutes later, a crown court judge told them they would be caged for a "lengthy period" when they reappear next month.

Miss Fenn, 18, had been friends with the girls when she stayed at their Langton Green flat in March, but an argument over an ex-boyfriend sparked an 18-hour ordeal that left her with lifelong scars.

The grisly details of what Viner-Mood and Gibson did to their friend that night in Homewood Road were revealed in full for the first time at Maidstone Crown Court.

Prosecutor Jo Cope said the angelic-looking girls had beaten, kicked, punched, burned and scalded their victim, even stamping on her so hard that police photos showed trainer imprints on both sides of her face.

Then they left her to sleep on the floor in a pool of her own blood.

When they finally released her the following day, she was made to walk the streets barefoot and warned not to go to police for help.

Viner-Mood's mother, who lives in central Tunbridge Wells, refused to comment on her daughter's actions, as did Lois Gibson's Benenden-based parents.

However, sources close to the pair likened Viner-Mood to EastEnders' infamous Janine Butcher and dubbed Gibson "a follower".

The pair held hands to hear Judge Martin Joy QC tell them they faced "lengthy custodial sentences".
